Anamika thought of a number. She multiplied it by 2, added 5 to the product and obtained 17 as the result. What is the number she had thought of?
उत्तर
Let x be the number thought by Anamika
if she multiplied it by 2, then the number will be 2x
Also, added 5 to it and obtained 17 as the result
∴ 2x + 5 = 17
⇒ 2x = 17 – 5 ......[Transposing 5 to RHS]
⇒ x = `12/2` = 6
Hence, the number 6 is thought by Anamika.
